o ON (4 VOICES X2) - With this you can play up to

4 voices at once, but each voice can be doubled
for extra thickness.

o UNISON - All 8 voices are triggered from a single

MIDI note.This is similar to a synthesizer mode of
the same name where you can layer all voices on
one note.

ATTACK / RELEASE

These settings are designed to introduce fade ins and
fade outs to the harmony voices.The Attack parameter
provides a gentle volume fade-in when you strike a MIDI
note during a sustained sung note. The Release
parameter adds a smooth fade-out if you release your
MIDI note as you continue to sing.The values range from
0 to 1000 milliseconds for the Attack and 0 to 2000 ms
for the Release.

NOTES EXT

This feature is most useful when singing to a commercial
MIDI file that is controlling the harmony voices in

VoiceLive 2. Often the MIDI notes used to control
harmony cut off where the singer might prefer to hold
the notes longer and this makes for a more singer-
oriented MIDI performance. The Notes Extension
setting allows a harmony voice that has been triggered in
Notes mode to continue sounding while the singer sings
a sustained note after the MIDI note has ceased.

LEVEL

The ability to control voices individually is removed in
MIDI NOTES mode to simplify and reduce the number
of parameters required when 8 voices are active. In their
place are macro-type settings for the features listed
above. For individual control of 4 MIDI voices, you can
use MIDI 4 CHAN mode.
